You CAN Learn to Surf! - This was the last "adventure" before we left Maui! We had a great instructor by the name of Santos. He was patient, encouraging, and so helpful with everyone in our group. AND, like a Master Teacher he knew how to differentiate his instruction for those of us who were a little more challenge like me! Thank you Surf Shack and Santos!!

A Must-Do Maui Experience! - I took my wife and teenager to the beginner surf lesson with Mike and the Surf Shack Maui team, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip! The small-group setting made it super easy to learn, and the personalized attention they gave each student was incredible. Mike’s enthusiasm and expertise put everyone’s nerves at ease, and his step-by-step instructions had us riding waves faster than we ever imagined. Safety was a top priority, and we felt well-prepared thanks to their briefing on ocean awareness and proper surf etiquette. The entire crew was not only knowledgeable but also patient and encouraging, making the experience fun, safe, and unforgettable. Plus, their promise of “surfing in one lesson or your next one’s free” shows just how confident they are in getting you on your feet—and they absolutely delivered! To top it all off, the photos they took during the lesson were absolutely amazing, capturing every thrilling moment and giving us memories to treasure forever. If you’re looking for a genuine Hawaiian surfing adventure, look no further than Surf Shack Maui. Mike and his incredible team will have you sharing waves, making wonderful family memories, and grinning from ear to ear by the end of the lesson. We highly recommend them for anyone ready to catch some waves—surf’s up!
